Harold Camping: ‘What I meant was the end of the News of the World’

American evangelist Harold Camping has confirmed that his earlier prophecy of the end of the world, which was due to fall on 21 May this year, was in fact intended to refer to the end of the News of the World.

‘By the Lord’s grace, I am proved right,’ a jubilant Reverend Camping told a rally of his followers today. ‘If people had only listened closely they’d have realised that I was actually saying ‘The end of the News of the World is nigh’. I was never talking about the end of the world – that would have been crazy tabloid talk.’

Having revised the date of his earlier prophecy from May to October, Camping admitted to surprise that the end of the News of the World was happening this weekend. ‘Jesus came to me in a vision to say it would be this Sunday. At least I think it was Jesus – it was a nice young man who said his father was the most powerful being the world had ever known. So actually maybe it was James Murdoch.’
